What is Windows 8 system image?

According to Wikipedia (a free, open content online encyclopedia), a system image is a copy of
the entire state of a computer system stored in some non-volatile form such as a file. By
default, a Windows 8 system image includes the drives required for Windows 8 to run. It also
includes Windows 8 and your system settings, programs and files. A system is said to be capable
of using system images if it can be shut down and later restored to exactly the same state. In
that case, you can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if the machine or
hard disk stops working.

Restoring your computer from a system image is a complete restoration and thus you cannot choose
any of the individual items to restore, including programs and files. It’s time to create an
image of your Windows 8 since you have installed Windows on your C partition, and it could be
the best advice so that you can always restore your system to the exact original state to
prevent from troubles.

The system is not as fast as you are used to.

Making irreversible errors regularly.

Try to use software without messing up the system.

Having virus or spyware on your computer.

With a system image and a system backup in advance, there would be nothing to worry about. All of
these problems can be resolved by restoring the system image just in a quarter of an hour.
Before that, the key problem is that you should get a good way to do a backup and create a
system image.

Windows 8 snap-in backup utility and professional third-party backup software are the two main
